Supermarket Belongs to the Community

Supermarket belongs to the community. While Chef has the responsibility to keep it running and be stewards of its functionality, what it does and how it works is driven by the community. The chef/supermarket repository will continue to be where development of the Supermarket application takes place. Come be part of shaping the direction of Supermarket by opening issues and pull requests or by joining us on the Chef Mailing List.

Description

Creates a configured handler path for distributing Chef report and exception handlers. Also exposes an LWRP for enabling Chef handlers from within recipe code (as opposed to hard coding in the client.rb file). This is useful for cookbook authors who may want to ship a product specific handler (see the cloudkick cookbook for an example) with their cookbook.

Attributes

Resource/Provider

chef_handler

Requires, configures and enables handlers on the node for the current Chef run. Also has the ability to pass arguments to the handlers initializer. This allows initialization data to be pulled from a node's attribute data.

It is best to declare chef_handler resources early on in the compile phase so they are available to fire for any exceptions during the Chef run. If you have a base role you would want any recipes that register Chef handlers to come first in the run_list.

Actions

:enable: Enables the Chef handler for the current Chef run on the current node

:disable: Disables the Chef handler for the current Chef run on the current node

Attribute Parameters

class_name: name attribute. The name of the handler class (can be module name-spaced).

source: full path to the handler file. can also be a gem path if the handler ships as part of a Ruby gem.

arguments: an array of arguments to pass the handler's class initializer

json_file

Leverages the chef_handler LWRP to automatically register the Chef::Handler::JsonFile handler that ships as part of Chef. This handler serializes the run status data to a JSON file located at /var/chef/reports.
